Using Bay Leaves with a Q-Tip to Alleviate Ringing and Noise in the Ears (Page 3 ) | September 8, 2024

Instructions:

1. Infuse Oil with Bay Leaves:
   • Prepare the Infusion: Place a few bay leaves in a small jar and cover them with olive oil or almond oil. These oils are chosen for their gentle and safe properties for use in the ear.
   • Let it Sit: Seal the jar and let the mixture sit in a warm, dark place for about 2 weeks. This process allows the oil to extract the active compounds from the bay leaves.
2. Strain the Oil: After the infusion period, strain the oil through a fine mesh or cheesecloth to remove all pieces of bay leaf.
3. Application:
   • Warm the Oil Slightly: Warm a small amount of the bay leaf-infused oil to just above room temperature. Be sure to test the oil on your wrist to ensure it is not too hot.
   • Apply with a Q-tip: Dip a clean Q-tip into the warm oil, then gently swab the outside of your ear canal with the oil-soaked Q-tip. Do not insert the Q-tip deep into the ear canal as this can push wax deeper into the ear or damage the ear drum.
4. Frequency of Use: Use this treatment once or twice a week. This frequency is enough to help manage symptoms of tinnitus and maintain ear health without overdoing it.
